[TYPO3] Mailing list or forum?

[Ryan Bilesky]

I agree, I personally prefer forums.  and if this were something that the typo3 people would want to do, i'd recommend smf, it's not GPL its under a proprietary license it is free to download and you can modify it and I like the software.  If you are looking to stick with something GPL than thats understandable just my 2 cents.
